10st 6lb |
Exposed but useful on his day; latest of three chase wins came off same mark in veterans' chase on this card a year ago; ran well in Midlands National at Kilbeggan next time and stays this far; after a layoff, ran okay at Wexford last month but probably vulnerable to those with more upside. |

Gained the most recent of his three chase wins in a 2m3f handicap on good ground at Ballinrobe last May; lacks a recent run but trip/ground in his favour so local challenger respected. |

Has put it together on the big day over fences more than once, winning the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown two years ago, and last time in the blinkers when winning the Munster National at Limerick; relatively unexposed over hurdles and is 18lb lower; likely to go from the front here and could be thereabouts. |

Second reserve; four chase wins include here over 2m3f and more recently over this trip at Roscommon last month, beating Ambitious Fellow; 8lb rise makes this tough. |

Three-time chase winner who is potentially well handicapped; early mistakes had him on the back foot when returning from an absence at Tipperary and 2m was plenty sharp enough for one who has won over 3m; hard to rule out. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
12st 5lb |
Won the Grand Military Gold Cup over C&D last January and followed up in this race (also soft), both under Major Will Kellard; beaten just over 1l when second to Fil d'Ariane in the Grand Military Gold Cup three weeks ago but he's 5lb better off with the selection today and has solid claims. |

24th Jan 2025 Good 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
12st 5lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who won this quite comfortably 12 months ago on his first start for Jamie Snowden and followed up in February's Royal Artillery Gold Cup (again under Major Will Kellard); the horses he beat in both those races went on to win handicaps and he too ran well to be fifth in the Midlands National; the glaring concern is the very laboured return he made in a Newbury handicap, yet none of his rivals offered a lot more on their final starts. |

Veteran who has been lightly raced and out of form in recent years; returned from latest layoff with low-key hurdle run in April; considered only if lively in the betting before this return to chasing. |

13yo who is 0-30 over fences and hard to fancy judged on his last few performances; however, he's well treated on last year's best form and this Irish raider is one to keep an eye on in the betting. |
